Wilson Living

Hazel and Charlie Daniels snuggle side by side on the couch in their den as they share their story of life and love after 45 years of marriage. The girl from Oklahoma and the country boy/Southern rocker from North Carolina have claimed Wilson County as their home for 40 years. For the past 30 years Twin Pines Ranch has been where they nurture body and soul. Their two-story log cabin with a stone porch and rocking chairs sits atop a hill where the American flag waves high in the wind. “There are two pine trees up on our hill, so we named it Twin Pines,” said Hazel.

My voice broke as I said the words to my mother on the phone. “Know what?” she said, her Southern drawl also turning tearful.

She hadn’t known what life changing events had occurred that morning

I had flown to North Carolina to surprise Brandt Waggoner, my boyfriend then, for his birthday in December 2007. However, he had turned the surprise around (with the help of many friends and family) and proposed to me. We had been dating for 3 years. I had been living in Lebanon and he was in Wake Forest, N.C. working on his seminary degree.
